Arise You Sleeper
From the grave you arise not a sleeper
God's hand to hold our hearts deeper
Hell's grip calls for the Death Reaper
To shackle you like the Devil did Peter
But you are a God made new creature
The Angels watch from their bleacher
Don't let evil put you on a stretcher
For God and his Angels are the pitcher
They will support you as the Quakers
To rock the Devil's load so secular
And shock his demons so vulgar
To bust their bond of cruel capture
With the acid blood on sin's Master
He proclaims, “Away with you, Deceiver!”
For Jesus is our salvation to prosper
Like Peter, break away from your jailer!
Arise now from your grave, you sleeper!
